Chapter 2

12 years after

Sakura sat quietly as she looked at the little boy in front of her. They both stared into each others eyes. Silence reined over the room they inhabited. Neither blinked, but stared directly, but Sakura knew it she closed her eyes. "I beat you mom!" the little boy yelled. "Darn you beat me again Sado" Sakura said as she smiled at the raven haired boy. Sakura couldn't help but to smile, she had a great job as a medic, she made good money, and her son was the top student in the ninja academy, but it wasn't easy being a single mother. She endured countless nights of work, while her child was home alone. She felt guilty for never giving her child a father; she never told Sado who his father was. He would be ashamed of Saskue as his father, he looked exactly like him, but he had blue eyes. This made Sakura ponder for many years, he was the best in everything he did like Saskue, but he was a troublemaker like Naruto. She gave birth to him a year after Naruto was banished; Intel this day Sakura had never anything about Naruto since he left. She still continues to look, but for now she must worry about her son. She was truly happy.

Sakura then felt a slight tap on her on head. "Mom are you there?" Sado said while laughing. "Yeah I'm here" Sakura said quietly. They were walking towards the only person that Sakura considered a friend. He always kept a smile on his face. He never showed anger or sadness. It was Lee; he was a Konoha's Green beast. Ever since the betrayal, he was the only one she could trust. He took care of her for a while when she gave birth Sado. At first she thought he was only doing this because he was in love with her, but she soon found out why he really took care of her. It was to honor Naruto. He considered Naruto to be his most trusted friend, and closet ally. When Naruto was exiled he had tried to search for Naruto, but all traces of Naruto's existence vanished. It was like he had disappeared from the face of the earth. Sakura and Sado were supposed to meet Lee in the Ramen bar for the anniversary of Naruto's departure, but they were late. They began to hasten their pace, but before they could reach the bar,

Sakura had bumped into a stranger. "Pardon me lovely" the stranger said softly. As he spoke, Sakura began to stare in horror. The man was shirtless, dressed in with only a pair of sack cloth shorts, and sandals, a cloth bucket hat, and with a pair black sunglass, but something caught her "What did you call me?" Sakura said with an angry tone. He began to raise his head and speak "I called you lovely" he said softly. At that moment, she saw his blue eyes, and blond hair. It began to sparkle in the light of sun. She began to feel an emotion she hadn't felt in ages, but before she could reminisce she realized that the guy was hitting on her. "How dare you say those things when my child is here!" Sakura yelled as she punched the stranger across the head. The stranger went flying towards the end of the street, at once Sakura left with Sado. "Mom you scare me" Sado said in a horrified voice. "Good" Sakura said firmly. As they walked Sakura began to look back, but as she turned forward something popped out. "You can't lose me that easily" the stranger said in a joking voice. "Holy shit" Sakura yelled as she jumped back. "Not only are you beautiful, but you are strong, and I love strong women" the stranger said as he began to give thumbs up. "Okay what do you want" Sakura said sternly as she began to move her foot up and down. "How about one date" the man said while smiling at her. "No" Sakura yelled. "How about a half a date" he said with joking voice. "Umm how about no" Sakura yelled. "Okay how about I pay for lunch" the stranger said as he was beginning on his knees. Sakura began to look at her wallet, it was empty. Sakura thought once, but quickly decided. "Sure but you got to pay for the both of us" Sakura said while smiling. "Sure thing" said the stranger. "I follow you" the man said as he went behind Sakura.

The group made it to the Ramen with any troubles. As they entered the stand, they began to order. "We'll have the daily special" Sakura said as he held son. "Okay I think I'll have ten orders of the Miso Pork and another ten orders of the bamboo root ramen" the stranger said while smiling. Sakura and Sado began to look at the stranger with a face filled with shock. As the cook heard the order he began to speak "my gosh I haven't served anyone that much since Naruto was around" the old cook said with a grin in his face. At that instant when he mentioned Naruto something within Sakura made her fill with sadness. When the stranger saw this he began to feel somewhat guilty. "Cheer up beautiful" he said while stuffing his face full of ramen. As Sakura looked him, she began to notice how this guy reminded her of Naruto, his big smile, his eyes, his hair, and his stubbornness. "Thank you, but I forgot to ask you what is you're name" Sakura asked as she began to open her. "I don't have one" the Stranger said. "What, how come you don't have one?" Sakura asked. "Had no use for one" The stranger responded while eating. "Okay, but don't you want one" Sakura insisted. "Umm not at all" he replied. "Well I just give one" Sakura said while smiling. Sakura began to ponder as the blue eyed man stared at her. "Umm I got it, Kaze" She said with a large smile. "Sounds okay" he said with a low tone.

They slowly began to stare into each others eyes, as if they could speak with opening their lips. Even though he was quiet outside, inside he was filled with overwhelming joy, but before they could enjoy the moment, four men appeared. They were fairly large and wore Konoha ninja vest. They moved towards the old cook and began to yell "where is the rent old man?" "I don't have it" the old cook said as he stepped behind his stand. "Well it seems that we got to beat it out of you" the biggest one said, they began to charge the old man their fists, but before they reach him a sudden burst of wind sent them flying on their backs. The stranger began to chant some words "Rasengan" at that moment a large blue orb appeared in his hand began to spin with intensity. The stranger stood above them as they lay on their backs. "You're guys are going to leave this old man alone and go home and take a shower, and then get a girl or slap your monkey, got it" the stranger said as he held the blue orb towards the leader of the of the gang. As the men left, Sakura began to stare in shock. She felt a heavy pain in her heart, and began to fall, but before she fell, she said a name "Naruto".
